• It can be problematic to change surgical targets inside the abdomen, and when needed to work in
different anatomical districts, it can become necessary to move the entire robotic trolley.
• Difficulties with the positioning of current camera systems often lead to a suboptimal visualization of the
field ‐ surgical manoeuvres may be influenced.
• Usually additional support is required by a laparoscopic assistant at the patient’s side.
• The current da Vinci robotic system does not provide the surgeon with haptic feedback of the handled
tissues. This, added to the strong mechanical power of the robotic arms, can lead to tissue tears.
Dexterity constraints of rigid-link robots
What about soft systems?
Or even soft-stiff systems?

Total Mesorectal Excision (TME)
based on presentation by Prof Alberto Arezzo, University of Turin
TOTAL MESORECTAL EXCISION (TME)TOTAL MESORECTAL EXCISION (TME)
TROCARS’ POSITION
A number of access points fairly wide-spread across the abdomen are needed.
Employing da Vinci requires frequent repositioning of overall system as well as human
assistance near the patient.
based on presentation by Prof Alberto Arezzo, University of Turin
Total Mesorectal Excision (TME)
TROCARS’ POSITION
• Mobilization of Splenic Flexure
• Mobilization of Sigmoid Colon / Toldt Fascia
• Incision of Pelvic Peritoneum
• Ligation of Inferior Mesentric Artery (IMA)
• Mobilization of Left Colon / Gerota Fascia
• Ligation of Mesentric Vein
• Posterior TME
• Lateral TME
• Posterior TME (2)
• Anterior TME (Male/Female)
• Section of Rectum
• Anastomosis
Procedure Elements (TME):
Posterior TME
• Actuation/sensor interference
(drastically changes the reading!).
• Chamber cross-section area changes
(nonlinear actuation).
• Chamber geometrical centers
shifted inwards
• Resulting bending moment smaller.
Challenges:
Flexible and High Dexterous 2-module Soft Robot
Future Challenges
Floppy to Stiff – Stiff to Floppy?
Motion Control
Sensing in a Soft Structure
Integration
Miniaturisation/Fabrication
Thanks.

  • 4. • It can be problematic to change surgical targets inside the abdomen, and when needed to work in different anatomical districts, it can become necessary to move the entire robotic trolley. • Difficulties with the positioning of current camera systems often lead to a suboptimal visualization of the field ‐ surgical manoeuvres may be influenced. • Usually additional support is required by a laparoscopic assistant at the patient’s side. • The current da Vinci robotic system does not provide the surgeon with haptic feedback of the handled tissues. This, added to the strong mechanical power of the robotic arms, can lead to tissue tears. Dexterity constraints of rigid-link robots

  • 10. TROCARS’ POSITION A number of access points fairly wide-spread across the abdomen are needed. Employing da Vinci requires frequent repositioning of overall system as well as human assistance near the patient. based on presentation by Prof Alberto Arezzo, University of Turin Total Mesorectal Excision (TME) TROCARS’ POSITION

Editor's Notes

  1. Inspiration from the octopus….no backbone, bending, elongation, stiffening.
